[Waffles]

Our team tries to attend every school orientation event, and even participate in pep rallies and sporting events. We primarily push the scholarships ordeal. One of the most important things about attending the orientations is not only show off to the students, but get PARENTS to talk to PARENTS... so if you have active parents on the team, have them connect with parents who might wanna help interest their child.

Another thing our team does is have a "bring a friend to robotics" night, where they bring someone new in to check things out to get them interested.

As for the communication - it plays a huge role in upkeeping a retention rate with your current students. Our team designates a student leader to email blast a weekly team email with updates in the HTML format to display images and schedules while recruiting for team events that involve community service, or fundraising, and anything of the likes in-between!

Good luck!
